Chapter 1 The Real Deal

A blue star ring surrounded Lavitan, things were getting serious. The people on the scene were also excited. This human had actually forced Lavitan to reveal his trump card.

Cheng Konghai knew that his battle armor was not fully compatible with his own soul fluctuations and couldn't withstand the opponent's high-intensity attacks. If he continued to消耗(consume), he might be the first to fall. This person was very strong, and time was running out.

Buzz~~~~

Zhou Force surged, a star ring surrounded him. In an instant, the chattering crowd quieted down...

This?

A star ring?

On a human?

Many people rubbed their eyes, afraid there was a problem. Robbie was still sour in his heart, always a little behind Ant, damn it, he was also working hard, and he prayed to the gods more often than him. It seemed that he had to pray more in the future.

Gasmi's small eyes almost popped out. He always thought that Cheng Konghai was only a little stronger than him. Was this a Star Ring expert?

Olivia and others marveled. At first, they all thought that these were just two sidekicks that Li Hao had found, probably useless. Who would have thought that one of them would even open his star ring. This was on a completely different level from Robbie just now. Once the star ring was opened... even with the suppression of civilization level, he would advance to Master Sergeant sooner or later... After all, who wouldn't want to team up with a Star Ring warrior?

The needs of a Galaxy Warrior, the strength of a Heavenly Ladder Master Sergeant, the cost performance is heaven-defying!

Hermia and Helena exchanged glances, both clearly seeing the shock in each other's eyes. This was exaggerated. Especially Helena, after calming down back home, she wondered if she had been tricked by the Earth boy. Not to mention whether the deal was worth it or not, she actually believed him when he said he would bring two humans over. If this failed, wouldn't she be laughed to death? The committee would think that she didn't have any judgment at all.

But a Zhou Lan maturity stage, and a fierce general who opened his star ring, wow, this was simply a huge surprise. This meant that her investment would get the highest level of return, and humans were now looking for support, and she was the first to cooperate with them. This future... wonderful.

Ning Long and De Falandis were expressionless, looking as if they had everything under control, but only they knew their true thoughts. De Falandis looked at Cheng Konghai, who was unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar. He didn't have much impression of Robbie, who seemed to be just a loudmouth, but Cheng Konghai was a great general back then. At that time, to target the Earthlings, one was to target Li Hao, and the other was to kill Cheng Konghai, because he was the Earthlings' vanguard daredevil team, and also Li Hao's best friend.

Unexpectedly, not only was he not killed, but he could grow to the point he was now. Nangong Yu Hang was really a waste, even with the food fed to his mouth, he could still lose so completely.

With the star ring revealed, Lavitan also restrained his arrogance. If the opponent's previously displayed combat power wasn't because his Heavenly Weapon wasn't handy, who knew what would have happened. Now that he had revealed his star ring, it was outrageous.

There are many situations for collisions between Star Ring warriors. If the star ring attributes repel each other, there will be direct disputes. Whoever's star ring is stronger will rule the shared area. If the attributes are similar, it will be more chaotic and interfere with each other. If the attributes are different, they won't interfere with each other, it just depends on who is fiercer.

Lavitan's star ring spread out around Lavitan as the center, enveloping the area. His power form was a gravity vortex, and the battle axe in his hand also began to gather power, with Zhou Force pouring into it, wanting to make a final decision with one axe. Moreover, within his star ring, he was not afraid of other fancy things.

On the other side, Cheng Konghai didn't make any movements. The star ring... was opened, but his star ring also spread out, overlapping with Lavitan's, but the two star rings didn't form any interference. Cheng Konghai was already held back by the Zhou Force vortex in the star ring, and his star ring ability?

Or was it that he had no ability, and just opened the ring?

Everyone was watching. Lavitan didn't care what the other party was. His power had been raised to its peak, and the entire Hua Jin Battle Axe had completely turned into a dazzling blue flame.

Kill~~~~

Instant Flash - Titus Star Core Battle Axe!

Lavitan took to the air, raised the battle axe high with both hands, and slashed at Cheng Konghai from a distance. The surging Zhou Force was about to erupt like a terrifying wave, and at this moment, the originally thin Cheng Konghai was in a daze, clang... clang... clang...

In the blink of an eye, a giant Cheng Konghai appeared, dozens of meters tall, boom...

The huge fist formed a super-pressure explosion with just a wave, directly sending Lavitan flying. Before Lavitan could react, the huge "Ant" had already descended from the sky. Seemingly clumsy, it was actually swift and fierce. The Ant's star ring ability was "膨胀(expansion)", not only matching the body size, but even more terrifying was that the power also increased exponentially, simply a bug-like terrifying power. This was the desire that had been stimulated in more than a year of cruel combat training as a Good Zerg, the most direct and barbaric super power.

One force can overcome all skills!

At this time, the huge battle axe was like a child's toy, boom...

Like a seismic wave, Lavitan was slapped on the ground, boom... boom... boom...

Three consecutive hammer blows.

The entire boundary stone space was like an earthquake, energy exploding. With the first blow, Lavitan resisted with both arms, but he was hammered down like a stake, his arms completely numb. That little flame scorched Cheng Konghai, but the giant didn't care at all. When the second punch hammered down, Lavitan was already lying down.

The third blow had already turned from a fist to a palm right in front of his eyes. If this was hammered down directly, Lavitan's death anniversary would probably be next year.

After three blows, Lavitan completely lost his combat ability, the Heavenly Weapon on his body exploded, and the star ring collapsed. Cheng Konghai stood proudly, without any action or cheers, just silently swept his giant eyes over those tiny aliens, the so-called advanced civilizations.

At this time, the pride of those who had always regarded humans as monkeys was swept away by this gaze. Along with the contraction of the star ring, Cheng Konghai's body size was also gradually shrinking, returning to normal. Even at this time, no one spoke, and everyone was stunned by this power. This was even fiercer than the fiercest warrior of the Giant Race.

As the leader of the Giant Race in the Tribunal, Hao'ao's big eyes fell into complete contemplation.

Cheng Konghai, who had returned to normal, slowly lowered his head. More than a year of Zerg life had made him even more taciturn. Returning to Li Hao's side, Li Hao patted Ant.

Ant's situation was completely beyond his imagination. Although he kept saying that it was because of borrowing his power, divinity, and whatnot, Li Hao believed that it was still Cheng Konghai and the others themselves who had the potential, but it was activated by his own, or Blee's, dimensional power, just like himself back then.

Humans are really awesome. Li Hao never felt that humans were some kind of seed product. With the super-high vision brought by Blee, he felt that humans were more like a race with sealed power.

Robbie on the side was excited, even more excited than Cheng Konghai. Holy crap, so that's how star rings are played. This is too cool. Ant's star ring power grows along with strength and size, so what about himself?

With such a handsome and strong blue flame, if he opened his star ring, would there be even fiercer superpowers? A chance to turn over and be the master?

DeMalk was dumbfounded. He thought he was the unluckiest one, but who would have thought that Lavitan would also lose. He didn't know why, but he was a little fortunate.

Lavitan was also a ruthless person, and he actually stubbornly sat up, gritting his teeth and looking at the miserable state around him. Several Celestials wanted to come over to help him, but he pushed them away, removed the fragments of his armor, and flew out directly. He staggered to the ground, but his expression was still the same, staring at Cheng Konghai with wide eyes.

Cheng Konghai also consumed a lot in this battle. Although he looked expressionless, his face was actually very pale. The Shura battle armor he had just obtained was also broken. Although the battle armor had a certain memory and extensibility, it was not Cheng Konghai's exclusive weapon after all, and it couldn't withstand Cheng Konghai's expansion.

Lavitan stared at Cheng Konghai fiercely, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified. This descendant of the Titus family was probably going to go berserk. "Okay, okay, you're ruthless. I lost. I'll leave tomorrow!" Lavitan said through gritted teeth.

After all, in front of everyone, and especially with Princess Hermia present, he had to fulfill the boast he had made, even if he had to do it on his knees.

"Lavitan, what nonsense are you talking about? It's just a friendly exchange. Victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Does the Holy Anthem say that you can quit whenever you want?" Hausen said coldly, "Besides, it's been more than five minutes. If we're going to go by that, shouldn't we consider Cheng Konghai to have lost?"

Actually, no one was keeping time, but Hausen couldn't let his right-hand man leave at this time.

"Brother Hausen, a bet is a bet. This kid is a tough guy. I was a little careless!" Lavitan's nickname was Overlord. It was true that he was wild and romantic, but he cared about his face. With so many people watching, if he went back on his word, how would he face people in the future?

"Lavitan, the Holy Anthem is a responsibility, not something to bet on. If you lose, find an opportunity to win back." Hermia suddenly smiled slightly and said, "What do you think, Officer Li Hao?"

Suddenly, everyone realized that humans had already won two consecutive victories, but everyone still didn't feel anything, because in the Tribunal, the biggest boss was Hausen. The Imog family had a unique soul inheritance, Death Fire, also known as Hellfire. The black flame had a strong ability to burn souls, which was quite unique. This was also the inheritance of the Imog family, and power was the foundation of the family.

Death Fire was what made people afraid to provoke Hausen. Even the defenses of Celestial Weapons could not completely resist Death Fire, unless there was a special Imperial Armament.

Hausen smiled coldly. He never dreamed that DeMalk and Lavitan would lose. It was unbelievable.

The issue wasn't whether to fight or not. He wasn't afraid of this human at all. So what if he opened his star ring? But the problem was that as the heir of Imog, the future husband of the princess, a general of the empire, and currently the number one on the Heavenly Ladder in the Vermillion Bird War Zone, he was going to fight a human for a group of people to watch?

De Falandis, that sissy, was very insidious. He was here to disgust him. If he won, it was justified. Not to mention if he lost, even if there were some loopholes, they would use them to attack him... Perhaps a deeper level was the competition for the Dragon Chief, which was the real reason for bringing out this group of humans.

Although Helena had an Imperial Armament, she was not a match for him and De Falandis. Today's protagonist was the two of them. His purpose was to have this cannon fodder test or消耗(exhaust) him?

De Falandis still maintained his gentlemanly smile, as calm as an outsider.

Li Hao was Li Hao after all, and he would never let him down. No matter the success or failure of this matter, he would gain great benefits. Being消耗(exhausted) by Li Hao once, winning or losing didn't matter. He wanted to see the power of Death Fire, and this position was crucial and he was determined to get it. As for the others, they were actually secondary. The princess's side was just an excuse. If Princess Hermia took a liking to Hausen, he wouldn't have a chance at all. Now there was still no news, and he was still working hard, which meant that Hermia didn't like Hausen from the start, and even had a dislike for the Imog family.

No matter what environment, strengthening oneself was the first priority.

Li Hao curled his lips. He also realized it. As expected of Xili'an, damn it, he still offered too little.

Hausen looked around, these clowns, they knew nothing about true power!

The momentum spread out from Hausen's body. He was also truly angered. He had always thought that De Falandis was quite sensible, and he didn't want to cause trouble outside the Seventh Art Festival, but he didn't expect that this kid had been dishonest all along, waiting for him here. This matter probably also had a part in the Dragon Girl's plan.

Then today, he would let them understand what was an insurmountable power gap.

Li Hao and Hausen took the stage. The key battle of today. Gaia and the others were also sweating, because the previous wins and losses didn't matter, it was all for this most important battle. Could Earth's magical abilities resist the indestructible Death Fire?

Compared to Cheng Konghai and Robbie's full confidence, the others were sweating. Helena was also a little excited. The Imog's Death Fire was really too terrifying. She had tested it before, and even her Imperial Armament couldn't completely resist it. Death Fire was born with the power to destroy souls, and this unique and powerful power made the Imog family's power in the Council of Elders grow stronger and stronger.

Hausen floated into the arena, without using his Heavenly Weapon, pointed at Li Hao, and said, "Let's begin!?"
